I would love to hear this clear through but I am out in the country and got a crap connection. any chance you will post this somewhere it can be downloaded from (please not talawa, I have never been able to get anything from there despite having an account)? what I heard of it sounded great but it keeps getting interrupted for 30 seconds at a time by my carrier.

Saw Bitty Mclean last night at the Jazz Cafe in London. What a treat, what a voice, what a privelege to hear that voice at such close quarters, I was blown away. He also comes across as such a humble and humorous man. I would love to see him with Sly & Robbie, but the band last night were top notch too. Stepper from the Taxi gang was on Sax and Henry Tenyue played trombone, there was also another sax player. Not sure who the drummer, bassie, keyboard or guitar players were. Bitty played mostly from On Bond Street and Moving on - The Queen Majesty riddim was a particular highlight but everything sounded superb. He also brought Lee Thompson and another guy from his band on to do Bangarang and Bitty's version of Fu Manchu.

They were selling the new album 'taxi sessions' last night and on first listen its another winner. Another few rootical tracks on there too and some familiar Sly and Robbie riddims.

For me it has helped make up for Beres pulling out of the Brixton show in July, Big up Bitty Mclean, what a star. It certainly looked like you made a few people very happy last night.
